To me this rates as a 'quite possible', there are several versions of this late and poor quality design.

Trap

The scarcity of green wool traps makes it difficult to compare them with known originals, and they DID vary more than the Bevo traps, which were fairly standardized. The appearance of the stitching on the eagle looks correct, but the eagle's head doesn't look right. I don't like the HUGE right eye, and I don't like the way the skull is stitched. It could be good, but it's a 50/50 call at best, IMO, and for what these things cost, and considering the scarcity, I don't like the odds.

Don't know either...these embroidered ones were definately less standardized than the BeVo ones and even the BeVo ones vary...
some single teeth row, some double...
Here some possible problem areas for me...; big eye scocket (already mentioned), feet not defined, beak? and one wing sagging...
Could be an ugly original too I guess....

Here is mine...

rzzzm - I like your trap.

The other one that started this thread I wouldn't touch it for all the reasons given - the lack of eagle head detail, the drooping wing, the goggle eye.

Hope you didn't pay anything for it.

It is only that when the foto was taken. the Trapezoid did not lay flat so it seems to be out of simertry. on each of the edge of top wings, it is 0.5 cm. I can take a new foto, so that you see NickG
